Formscan - Laurel has her first start since disappointing in last year's Lockinge. She won a Listed contest at Kempton under Ryan Moore before that, but has something to prove on her reappearance and OCEAN JEWEL is preferred. The latter looked an improved filly when winning a Group 2 contest at the Curragh last month with plenty left in the tank, and further improvement looks on the cards. Rogue Millennium won this last year and has joined Joseph O'Brien subsequently. She was no match for the selection when sent off favourite at the Curragh, though she may finish closer on this occasion. Breege accounted for Royal Dress and Running Lion when landing a Group 3 at Epsom, but would prefer some cut in the ground, while William Buick picks up the ride on the Irish filly and Group 3 winner Gregarina and she could go well.
